Industry 4.0 (also referred to as digitization of manufacturing) is characterized by cyber
physical systems, automation, and data exchange. It is no longer a future trend and is being …

Disc brakes are the most important contributor of safety in railway vehicles. Appropriate
modelling of heat input and boundary conditions in railway disc brake thermal load …

As the velocity of a train increases, the corresponding air pumping power consumption of the
brake discs increases proportionally. In the present experimental study, a standard axle …

The movement of moving devices or machines in terms of safety perspective must be
controlled. In modern vehicle applications, braking is closely related to safety. Slowing or …

The structural design of the brake disc of urban rail trains, especially the design of the heat
dissipation rib structure, affects the heat dissipation performance of the brake disc …

Railroad vehicles require the use of disc brakes for safety purposes, however, the brakes
are susceptible to thermal stress, which ultimately shortens their lifespan. Hence, to …

Clarifying the relationship between friction area and brake disc temperature is helpful to
optimizing the brake pad structure. Aluminium-based brake disc temperature paired with …

One of the typical problems of modern high speed transport is its energy efficiency. Vehicle
air resistance makes a major part of them. Usually, attention is put on the vehicle front part …

For high-speed trains, the issue of the effectiveness of braking systems, as well as the
aerodynamic moment of resistance which arises when braking with a disc brake and leads …

Railroad vehicles require the use of disc brakes for safety purposes. However, the disc
brakes are susceptible to surface damages including fade, wear, squeal, thermal cracks …
